How heat resistant is 2k paint?

[227bhp]

I know it's fine for engine blocks, but what about a cam cover? It shouldn't see much over 100'c.
Edit:
I've just been speaking to a paint guy who said it might blister over time and Celly might be a better bet, so will do some research tonight.
It has to be a mixable paint and not just any heat resistant as it has to be a specific shade.

I’ve painted plenty of cam covers with 2pack and never had any problems with the heat. I’ve also painted quite a few brake calipers and they’ve been fine. The only problem you might have is very pale colours can yellow with repeated heat.

One of my early customers worked in a body shop and painted everything on his engine with 2 pack. I'd say it's pretty bulletproof.
